• In Event: 66.079 - Roundtable Session 25
  In Roundtable Session: 66.079-14 - Division I Roundtable C: Cultural Competence and Equity

Abstract

This study proposed here will analyze the demographic data from both of the studies noted above to determine if the subject that was visited in 2003 at the Iverson Bell Symposium, “The face of the veterinary profession: Educators wrestle with promoting racial diversity in the veterinary colleges,” has changed in ten years. Have the statistics for racial/ethnic diversity has changed, or has the face of the veterinary profession become more diverse? If not, what initiatives are proposed or in place to increase diversity?
